Injured on a Job Site That Is Not Your Employer’s? You May Have a Second Claim If you are injured on a job site that is not operated by your employer, your legal options may go beyond workers’ compensation. Many workers assume that workers’ compensation is their only path to recovery, but that is not always the case. Construction sites in Illinois often involve multiple parties, including subcontractors, property owners, and other third parties. If one of these parties acted negligently and caused your injury, you may have the right to pursue an additional claim for damages. Filing a third party claim alongside your workers’ compensation case can help you recover compensation for losses that workers’ compensation may not fully cover, such as certain damages related to your pain, suffering, or long term impact. Understanding who may be responsible is key to maximizing your recovery. For help determining liability and pursuing your claim, contact Strong Law Offices at 309-393-2928.
